The 250 Inner Officers
2 Chronicles 8:10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Chronicles 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Solomon's verse names 250 chief officers who governed the people, illustrating a well-ordered realm.
Neville's Inner Vision
Solomon in this verse does not point to a distant court, but to the crown within. The 250 officers are the many states of your consciousness—habits, beliefs, emotions, memories—each claiming a share of rule over your inner and outer life. Solomon represents the wise, unifying I AM that can coordinate these forces. When you recognize that the ruler is not a politician outside you but your own awareness, you see that every circumstance—people, events, conditions—arises as movements of consciousness. The officers, once scattered in autopilot, can be brought under a single governor. You need not cast out your thoughts; you reoccupy them under the authority of the I AM, letting fear and habit bow to your clear, calm assumption. The inner administrator begins to reorder the field, so that the outer scene begins to reflect a settled inner state: harmony, discernment, and purpose rather than chaos. The invitation is to exercise dominion by revising your inner assumptions, feeling the truth of the ruler within, and observing the shift as your life rearranges to match your inner direction.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and breathe. Imagine the I AM as the single governor over all 250 inner officers, and repeat 'I am the ruler now' until calm and clarity settle.
